I tried the same procedure with the regular Cygwin bash shell, and
it behaves the same way.

Any ideas on what it could be?
A WAG, and I may be really off on this: Cygwin uses TCP/IP sockets
(which essentially require a TCP/IP port) to emulate Unix domain
sockets. If rxvt reserves a Unix domain socket (even if it's not
using X), and DoD tries to access the same port, because it's
somehow predefined and it expects it to be free, there could be a
conflict. I can't think of anything else in Cygwin that would
interfere with a (presumably) non-Cygwin application.
Well, unless the regular bash shell does it too, that probably isn't
correct. Like I said, it is very weird and it took me some time to
figure it out.
The "regular bash" that you tried is really a login shell. That *can*
run X-related stuff, e.g., from /etc/profile.d scripts. A real test would
be to try a non-login bash (just run "c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -i" from a
CMD prompt). If that doesn't interfere with DoD, it would make my WAG
more probable. Otherwise we'll have to look for other possible reasons.
Okay, I tried it this way too, and it still hangs DoD. FWIW, running
MSYS (MinGW's bash), does not hang DoD.
Very Odd.
Yep. Curiouser and curiouser... Does *any* Cygwin process have that
effect? Try running "c:\cygwin\bin\sleep.exe 60" from a CMD prompt --
does *that* make DoD hang?
Strangely enough, yes that too does make DoD hang.
How very very strange.
